lol, let me guess, they incentivize responses too... How does this response help anyone? Is this what this whole site is, just circular uselessness? Thank you s80alam, but you must appreciate the irony, maybe that was your point?

Average Response time just makes sellers respond with "Hi" and then silence... What good does this do? I put out a bunch of contacts to sellers, all with average response time from under an hour and sure enough... I get plenty of responses... all of them "Hi!", "Hello there". "Hi, we'll be with you shortly" or what ever. This promotes a deception as a value to the buyer. It is no value to me to have someone say "Hi". No matter how quickly they say it. Then hoursgo by with no response... yet the sellers benefit from having responded. Maybe see if the reply is significant? You obviously scan everything typed in to see if anyone say "pay" or "money" but don't try to make this response time metric mater? At least put a minimum number of characters on initial response to consider it valid. Like a decent limit. I would also suggest that you check that against their previous responses so they aren't just pasting the same response that is 1 character longer than minimum or what ever.
